just got this,what do you do with the cable that is attached to the unit? The picture shows it just hanging, and the other cable attached to the unit/ ipod

I'm not sure why they have it depicted in that sense. All you need to play music is to have the unit in a cigarette lighter and one cable which goes from the unit to your music playing device.

It's the aux connection which connects to the headset port on a phone or MP3 player.

If it's like mine you can connect your own separate aux cable or use the one that is attached to unit itself

It was tough and with no directions! Remove the silicone cover.The inside black piece separates from the back black piece (see if you can see the seam and pry it apart from there) and then the iPod sandwiches in between.

There is no docking station, so it doesn't matter. You have to use a USB cord to connect to your iPod, so whatever charging device you got with the iPod can be connected to the radio/docking station. (To the extent you can get it to work; my problem has been that it doesn't...) The image makes it look as if you're insert the iPod or the iPhone to charge or play, but actually what is provided is simply a place to rest it and make it LOOk as if it's charging. You need a cord to link the two.

I called Apple and they talked me through it..plainly the charger is useless. You can charge it with the little cable that came with your iPod directly through the computer. Hope this helps since we are doing this my husband hasn't had a problem. Apple has the correct charger for around $30..Will be looking into when we start traveling.

I usually start the music once its docked. and it works fine. Have you already sent the box back? Reason I ask is because the packaging is deceiving... On the box is just has Im600, what you need to look for is on the bottom of the box where the serial number is printed just below it has im600USB printed in small text. When I go home tonight I'll send you the UPC code it has printed.

put one hand each side of the case at the bottom where the opening for the charging port is and pull apart, you should do that sitting down so you don't drop your ipod

I recd mine in the mail today and the charger part doesn't seem to work. It doesn't seem that the USB fits correctly into the charger and the jack doesn't fit firmly into the transmitter. Just doesn't seem like it is the right size. Is that possible? Or am I doing something wrong? It is not charging my ipod while transmitting. HELP?

If you can ask him that would be great just ordered this and am wondering if he used a media cable or a usb to rca cord. I ordered a few but see that some do not work. Don't wanna waste my money. :-) I have the ipod cord so maybe its the same one?

I got it for an iPod Classic Video, so I can't comment. I'd say go with the other customer and get an adaptor.

I don't have much help to provide...mine works fine with my iPod Nano (4th) and iPod (classic). No issue charging either. I'd try a different aux cable and perhaps another mp3 player and make sure the issue isn't external. Otherwise, I'd return the item for replacement. Frustrating, I'm sure.

To ensure its not your IPod ,test someone else's .....if theirs don't work ,there may be a connection issue...

I had one of these that fell off a low table on to its back and it stopped working all together (no power lights) and it turned out that the connection where you plug the power into the dock had broken. My handy dandy nephew fixed it and it works fine. Does it seem like there is no power to it or is it that there is no sound but the lights work? It could be a bent pin on the iPod connector.

Hi John,Sorry for the bad news but when apple changed their charging system from Firewire technology to USB it rendered all the newer models useless for charging. I had to resort to using the Ipod charger and then putting back on the dock. You're likely getting a "Charging not supported on this device" type of notice. My older one worked till it's final day but it was the old style. The only solution is a new dock system or find a cheap old one on Ebay. Best of luck,Cheers--Sam

Found a reasonable solution to the problem. I bought a dock extender cable (see product link below)that seems to have solved the charging problem while connected to the speaker system. Music plays and the iphone charges. All is good.30 Pin Dock Extender Cable-50 cm in White

It appears to be an unshielded headphone wire type. I use the cable to connect a Bluetooth receiver to a stereo receiver so that I can use the Bluetooth wireless on my iPod Touch. It works without an issues.

I lost mine as well, then i figured to buy it from Amazon, so I purchased mine which is the same as the picture and worked right a way. Didn't need any installation. It seems they already linked it up to the apple tv.

Thanks for your suggestions, Bubba. I did try to charge it from my computer as well without success. I've had the iPod for a little over a year and probably didn't use it enough. The functionality of a GPS would have increased its usefulness to me immensely, but adding the cost of a battery replacement to this cradle makes this a rather expensive move. To be sure, I'll follow your tip and try a different cable, but I'm not overly optimistic at this point.Edit: The USB cable *was* the culprit. Got a new one today and just ordered my GPS cradle...
